New Dr Who Companion announced
Posted by geeksyndicate on May 29, 2009
And here she is folks, another companion to join the ranks of Dr Who’s finest. And she’s been in it before.
Meet Karen Gillan. She was last seen as the Soothsayer in Jame’s Morans episodes “The Fires of Pompeii”.
The 21 year old says “”I am absolutely over the moon at being chosen to play the Doctor’s new companion. – I just can’t wait to get started,the show is such a massive phenomenon that I can’t quite believe I am going to be a part of it.”
Steven Moffat the producer who has chosen her to play alongside Matt Smith had this to say
“When she auditioned alongside Matt we knew we had something special.”
He described her as “funny, and clever, and gorgeous, and sexy,a generation of little girls will want to be her. And a generation of little boys will want them to be her too,” he added.
Personally, I thought that she was fantastic as The Soothsayer, so I don’t doubt her acting chops. I’m also pretty glad they have chosen a relatively unknown actor for the part so we can come to it without the bias of what has gone before. I’m just praying that she doesn’t fall in love with him especially as they look about the same age.
